Estrogen has many anabolic properties that help you retain muscle mass, like IGF production.
stripping your body of estrogen , while in a calorie deficit and cutting is not a good idea (unless your trying to lose muscle) . by not running testosterone, your not going to give you body the ability to produce estrogen.. your going to lose muscle. on top of it your running two compounds , masteron and primo, that also have anti estrogen effects. your estrogen is going to go to crap and so will your physique. estrogen not only plays a role in muscle retention, hgh and igf. production, healthy cholesterol levels , BUT also in fat burning as well as glycogen retention (lots of contest bodybuilders make the mistake of running too much AI and lowering their estrogen too much for a bodybuilding show, and then they end up not being able to carb load and they end up flat on stage).
I could go on . but the point is , YES run some Test with this cycle , if for the only reason that you can at least get some estrogen conversion out of it . your going to need it.
heck you could even run Dbol and be better off. cause at least you'll get some much needed estrogen conversion.
Arnold used to prep for bodybuilding shows running Primo and Dbol (no test).. I believe the Dbol gave him the needed amounts of estrogen so he was able to retain muscle mass and fullness while cutting .
